The newest addition to the Chatoe Rogue series is Pumpkin Patch Ale, a beer made using fresh pumpkins grown in a patch that borders Rogue’s 42 acre hop yard. The pumpkins are picked, loaded into Rogue’s farm truck, driven immediately 77 miles to our brewery in Newport, quickly roasted, and pitched into the brew kettle to create a batch of Pumpkin Patch Ale.

I’m giving this a perfect 10 for aroma, as of this time I’ve not given such a high aroma score to any beer. Reason? It smells exactly like a fucking pumpkin pie. If you set a pint of this next to an actual pumpkin pie, your nose wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. It’s an incredibly earthly brew with a luscious taste.
Unfortunately, the taste is somewhat overbearing. It’s a good beer to try once, but not such a good one to return to—unless it’s at your yearly Hallowe’en or Thanksgiving table.
Still, I give it a decently high rating for the uniqueness of its taste. You won’t find many brews coming this close to pumpkin.

Poured from a Bomber into a pint glass. Pumpkin beer is one of my favorite styles of beer. This brew has a great pumpkin aroma and flavor. A well balanced blend of pumpkin and hops. I look forward to the autumn just for this beer.

Appearance: pours with a medium to large light tan head that settles pretty quickly, the beer is a very nice dark amber almost brown color
Aroma: pumpkin, butter, heavy cream,
Taste: has a nice pumpkin flavor throughout, it's not super sweet but still has sweetness to it, Graham cracker on the finish,
Palate: light to medium mouthfeel, minimal aftertaste, average carbonation
Overall: pretty pleased with this beer, the pumpkin is the dominant flavor and aroma, not so heavy or sweet where drinking this as a session beer would be a problem
